Millwall release trio

Millwall have released winger Abou Fofana plus strikers Cherno Samba and Alex Tiesse as Dennis Wise looks to reduce his first team squad.

Fofana was signed last summer on a year long contract from Juventus and made 17 appearances for The Lions. But his season was cut short after he broke his leg in a reserve game back in March,

The release of Cherno Samba will come as a shock to many outside the club. The 19-year-old England U-18 striker had been hotly tipped to go all the way in the professional game but although he made the breakthrough at reserve level, he failed to make that final step up and has been overtaken by the likes of Mark Quigley.

Tiesse, another England U-18 star, also failed to make the grade.
